Invisalign
Invisalign and Cosmetic Dentistry Specialist in Framingham, MA
Invisalign is a unique, proven method of straightening teeth with the use of clear plastic aligners which slowly reposition your teeth over a period generally between 6 to 18 months. The aligners are inconspicuous when worn and can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing, allowing you to live your life without the interruption of standard braces. Dr. Stephen Raisman has been using the Invisalign system in Framingham for many years. He is one of the few area dentists certified in both Invisalign and Six Month Smiles. Either method may be appropriate depending on each your specific needs.
Clear, Removable Aligners
As we get older our teeth begin to shift and often become crowded. Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners which are precisely manufactured for your teeth using 3-D imaging technology. About once every two weeks, as your teeth comfortably move towards the desired positions, Dr. Raisman will provide a new set of aligners which continue the process of gently repositioning teeth. The main advantages of Invisalign are the superior aesthetics compared to traditional braces, as well as fact that aligners can be removed as necessary. While they should be worn at least 22 hours per day, activities like eating and daily dental hygiene present no challenges when using the Invisalign system.
Outstanding Results
The Invisalign treatment has a long track record of enabling patients to achieve great looking smiles. Like the Six Month Smiles method, the combination of the newest teeth straightening and cosmetic dentistry techniques can produce remarkable changes to your looks in less time and for less money than previously possible.
What is iTero?
The state-of-the-art iTero digital intraoral scanner takes the place of the traditional physical messy goopy impressions. With an intraoral scanner, we can now replicate your teeth into a high-resolution interactive 3D model in a matter of minutes, much more accurately than before.
How Does it work?
The iTero intraoral scanner can take about 6000 pictures per second! And while sweeping it across the teeth, these pictures are stitched together to create a 3D model of your teeth and jaws in a matter of minutes!
What are the benefits?
A digital scan means no more gagging, bad taste, stains on your face, or accidental spills outside the mouth! Using an intraoral scanner also means that we can now get impressions of your teeth with high precision and accuracy.
